Speedo and clock faces
Comments

No worries!
Just a few details to everyone interested in these - right now the faces are only in black and metallic and the numbers can be ordered in several colors. The big hand can be ordered in all the colors too - but the black on the round will need to be painted on. The parts are porous - so they need to be sealed first (clear nail polish or superglue works well) to prevent bleed-thru if you paint details on them.

Looks awesome. Are you going to be selling these?0

Yes! https://www.shapeways.com/shops/grims-miscellanea
Sorry, no swirl or phosphorescence. But - pull apart your center gauge and paint everything to match.0 -
Prices seem very reasonable for specialty parts.0

Very nice. Wish you were around before I paid a small fortune for NOS0

Speedo needles are in and look good, now to make the counter weights.
Also - The tachometer I am working on. Movement provided by a small gauge stepper and small controller board.

Is there a standard Tach that this is going to adapt to?0

My plans are to drive the stepper motor with a Arduino board, bringing in the Tach signal through a frequency-to-voltage IC. The Arduino board (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12757) can potentially control up to 3 stepper motors.
The stepper motors are what drive analog gauges in current cars.0 -

Those are all great ideas! If you end up making a tach with a '52 face (w/white marbling), put me down for one. Maybe two.0

Tach would be great!
As well as the guage face--0
